Name
    mren - rename an existing MSDOS file

Note of warning
    This manpage has been  automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
    documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.  See the
    end of this man page for details.

Description
    The mren command is used to rename or move an existing MS-DOS file or
    subdirectory. Its syntax is:

    mren [-voOsSrRA] sourcefile targetfile

    Mren renames an existing file on an MS-DOS filesystem.

    In verbose mode, Mren displays the new filename if the name supplied is
    invalid.

    If the first syntax is used (only one sourcefile), and if the target
    name doesn't contain any slashes or colons, the file (or  subdirectory)
    is renamed in the same directory, instead of being moved to the current
    mcd directory as would be the case with mmove. Unlike the MS-DOS ver-
    sion of REN, mren can be used to rename directories.

Viewing the texi doc
    This manpage has been  automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
    documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
    items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
    translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate represen-
    tation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has been
    translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to use
    the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for instructions
    how to view the texinfo doc.

    *   To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the fol-
    lowing commands:

     ./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi

    *   To generate a html copy, run:

     ./configure; make html

    A  premade html can be found at: `http://mtools.linux.lu' and
    also at: `http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/mtools'

    *   To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode),
    run:

     ./configure; make info

    The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
    the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
    quoting conventions used in info.
